Sean Bean's 'Game of Thrones' 14-minute preview is live

 HBO is airing a fantasy series in two weeks staring LOTR alumn Sean Bean. Just as in 2000, when New Line Cinema put high-quality fantasy in the cinema, viewed then as an expensive risk, the subscription channel is adapting a fantasy novel, George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones," for television. Bean, Boromir in Tolkien's "Fellowship of the Ring," is front and center here as the series' most recognizable face playing Eddard Stark, one of the powerful players in a land full of political intrigue. Sunday night HBO started the two-week countdown before the shows airs each Sunday for 10 weeks. You can watch a 14-minute preview now but younger and sensitive viewers should be warned, there are graphic depictions of dead bodies, a beheading and the stuff of nightmares if you follow this link. (TORn recently ran a story comparing the LOTR films and the television series.)

I watched this earlier this evening on HBO, and am very, very happy with what I'm seeing. Reminds me quite a bit of how thrilled I was when I realized during my first viewing of FotR that the story was, indeed, in very good hands. This filled me with a similar feeling of giddy joy.  I can't wait to see the premiere in two weeks, and only wish the season were longer than 10 episodes. But I'll take what I can get. 
"All men dream; but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds awake to find that it was vanity; But the dreamers of day are dangerous men. That they may act their dreams with open eyes to make it possible."

I'm really looking forward to seeing this over here on Sky Atlantic, 18th April...just one day later than it's US premier. VERY unusual! We normally have to wait weeks, or even months!
